Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27985 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27985 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node system Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: jvandyk Reported by: jvandyk Updated by: killes@www.drop.org Status: patch (ready to be committed) Ber: I'd really like to have some proof or even evidence for this claim... I don't think it is a problem. killes@www.drop.org Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 21:14:43 +0000 : jvandyk Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/type32chars.diff (2.48 KB) The type column of the node table is VARCHAR(16). CCK prepends 'content-' onto its content types, leaving only 8 chars for a descriptive "short name" of the content type. For example, "content-shoe-size" already exceeds the limit. This patch changes the column width to 32 characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 21:31:08 +0000 : chx I read the code and looks fine with me. jvandyk says the pgsql way is necessary unless we want to support only 8.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 02 Aug 2005 11:26:04 +0000 : Bèr Kessels I am no SQL guru, but AFAIK this will greatly affect the memory usage of mysql. At least that is why i refraind from this solution and renamed node_aggregator to naggregator when that module bumbed into this 8 char limit.
